After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people
Chapter 186: Only a suicide note but no secret code?
Jiang Baige met Chen Xi outside the ICU ward.
Chen Xi's skin color was originally fair, and at this moment it almost blended into the white color of the hospital. The thick dark circles under his eyes were more prominent, and his pupils were out of focus.
It was not until Jiang Baige walked up to her that she seemed to wake up from her dream.
“Ah, you’re here…”
Jiang Baige opened her cell phone and wanted to order a takeaway for her, but then she remembered that takeaway food was not yet so popular.
I had no choice but to help Chen Xi sit down first: "I just went to the ward to ask, and the nurse said that Senior Sister Jing is in the ICU again."
"Well, the condition suddenly worsened again. We had already moved to the general ward two days ago." Chen Xi rubbed his temples, yawned, and a few tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.
Jiang Baige looked around: "Why are you alone? Where are Senior Sister Jing's parents?"
Chen Xi shook his head: "I didn't dare tell them. Auntie just had a major cancer surgery two years ago, and we usually don't dare to provoke her."
No wonder Jingchai was left isolated and helpless after being coerced by Chen Dongguo.
"But Senior Sister Jing hasn't contacted them for a few days, so they don't call to show their concern?"
"Uncle accompanied Auntie on a cruise to relax, so..." Chen Xi forced a smile, "It was the royalties from Chai Chai's last novel that were spent."
Jiang Baige’s first reaction was: The royalties for literary magazines are so high?
After all, she wrote a million words in her last book, but only received a few thousand yuan in royalties.
Chen Xi probably figured it out too: "Of course there is more than just that one article. And Chai Chai is a very strong-willed person. Since she wants to invite her mother to relax, she will naturally prepare the money."
"Could it be...she has wanted to commit suicide for a long time?"
"Impossible." Chen Xi said firmly, "You know about Chai Chai's hospitalization due to allergies, right? Every time I came over, I saw her typing away on the computer."
Chen Xi raised his head and said seriously, "Bai Ge, you are also a novelist. So tell me, if a person feels that he still has many stories to write, will he want to commit suicide?"
will not.
Jiang Baige almost blurted it out.
Suddenly, Jiang Baige connected the events of the previous life with those of this life...
Instead of answering Chen Xi, he asked her a strange question: "Just now on the phone, you told me that your senior sister committed suicide by turning on the gas at home. If you hadn't rushed back in time... the 'home' you mentioned, is it her home?"
"No, it's my house. Because Chai Chai had just been discharged from the hospital and her parents were out playing again, I was worried that she would be unsafe in the rental house alone, so I took her home."
Sure enough...it was just as Jiang Baige guessed.
But before she could ask more questions, the nurse came to call Chen Xi. It turned out that Jingchai had been rescued again and would be sent back to the general ward after another night of observation if there was no problem.
Chen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then collapsed. After all, she had been busy all these days, and her body couldn't take it anymore.
If this goes on, Jingchai might wake up and Chen Xi would have to go for IV drip again.
Jiang Baige immediately decided to take over Chen Xi's "job". After the handover, she sent Chen Xi to a taxi and let her have a good rest for two days.
After finishing all these, Jiang Baige's phone rang again.
It was Shi Xin, who said that the opening ceremony was over and asked her where she was now and if she wanted to have dinner together. He said that he might join a group in a while and would not be in Lincheng anymore.
Of course Jiang Baige would not agree.
On the contrary, she thought it was good that Shi Xin was not around recently, so that there would be no one to distract her and she could think carefully about the matter of the Jingchai.
The next day, Jingchai successfully passed the critical period and returned to the general ward. Jiang Baige also saw her again after nearly two months.
She closed her eyes, but her face was very calm, and it was almost impossible to tell that she had been at the gates of hell twice.
Although Chen Xi returned home, he hired a caregiver for Jingchai, who could help Jiang Baige share some of the chores.
Jiang Baige went back to school, brought her laptop with her, and continued to write diligently.
Occasionally Jingchai would reveal something, and Jiang Baige would always excitedly press the call bell, but she did not wake up.
When she was tired, she stood up, helped Jingchai organize her things, and talked to her for a while - the doctor said that although she was still in a coma, she was not completely unconscious.
On this day, Jiang Baige wrote the manuscript very quickly, so she wanted to help Jingchai tidy up the drawer. She remembered Chen Xi said that she packed some daily necessities for Jingchai so that she would not be in a hurry when she woke up.
Jiang Baige opened the drawer and took out the bag, but her eyes were attracted by the familiar notebook.
Now, the book with "Daughters' Alliance" written on the cover is no longer a "holy book" to Jiang Baige.
Because after they met in the teahouse that day, Jingchai gave her the "code book".
"Creating characters is harder than imagined, so when recording, we try to simplify, refer to, and use metaphors..." Jingchai explained with a smile, "If the founder of this organization hadn't studied folklore and oracle bones, he wouldn't have thought of creating a new language."
Jiang Baige took out the notebook carefully and closed the drawer.
She always felt that this book would not appear here for no reason. So, regardless of the offense, she decided to read the contents.
The time recorded in the notebook is not long, the earliest date is in April when they met.
But there are records almost every day. However, the contents are all similar, and after reading them, they are not as pessimistic as Jiang Baige imagined.
In this notebook, Jingchai is more like a bystander, recording her own pain, despair, unwillingness and contradictory attitude towards life and death - she doesn't want to live anymore, but she feels that she is not the one who should die, not to mention that she feels that she is still needed by the story in her mind.
Her writing style is calm and objective, completely different from the storytelling state she presents in her novels that can arouse strong empathy in readers.
Jiang Baige was surprised that there could be two such "people" existing in her body at the same time.
Finally, in the records of July, Jiang Baige saw Jingchai mentioned the word "novel" for the first time - Jingchai thought of writing down this story when he was reading his own mental journey.
She knew she was not alone, and she also knew she could do something: she could write down these common, invisible, and almost inexpressible pains so that more people could see them...
Jiang Baige flipped through the records and compared them, and before she knew it, she had finished reading the records.
But she hadn't found the information she wanted yet, and she felt a little anxious. At this moment, two words jumped into her eyes:
"Suicide Note"
Jiang Baige was stunned because these two words were not written in the code characters, but in standard simplified Chinese characters.
